The Gael Spirits Company Limited Privacy Policy
This data privacy policy is for The Gael Spirits Company Limited. It concerns only information collected through this website. The processing of personal data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation May 2018 (GDPR). If you have any queries regarding this policy please contact admin@thegael.co.uk
This site is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18.

IN BRIEF
We collect anonymous usage statistics about your visit, like which of our pages you viewed.
Some third parties like Facebook and You Tube may know you visited this website, if you use their services. We can’t control them but we don’t believe this knowledge poses any threat to you.
If you share personally identifiable information with us we take great care to keep it safe and we’ll never share it with others without your express permission.
We may target visitors to our website with ads on external websites through Google Ad Words remarketing.
We never share your data with third parties except to help us deliver our own services.
PERSONAL INFORMATION
Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers, email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
Communicate with you;
Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.
We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use Shopify to power our online store--you can read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy.
Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
GOOGLE ANALYTICS
We measure visitors to our website using Google Analytics. This records what pages you view within our site, how you arrived at our site and some basic information about your computer. All of that information is anonymous - so we don't know who you are; just that somebody visited our site.
The information we collect from analytics helps us understand what parts of our sites are doing well, how people arrive at our site and so on. Like most websites, we use this information to make our website better.
You can learn more about Google Analytics or opt out if you wish y
SOCIAL MEDIA
These services provide social buttons and similar features which we use on our website - such as the "Like" and "Tweet" buttons.
To do so we embed code that they provide and we do not control ourselves. To function, their buttons generally know if you're logged in; for example Facebook uses this to say "x of your friends like this". We do not have any access to that information, nor can we control how those networks use it.
Social networks therefore could know that you're viewing this website, if you use their services (that isn't to say they do, but their policies may change). As our website is remarkably inoffensive we imagine this is not a concern for most users.
If you provide us with your email address we may send you emails, either in reply to specific enquiries (such as one made using a contact form) or if you have opted in to our email newsletters. You have the ability to opt out of any of this communication at any time.
We will never provide your personal information or email address to any third parties except where they are specifically employed to help deliver our own services.
ONLINE PAYMENT
We use Shopify Payments to process some payments. By using a third party payment processor such as Shopify Payments we avoid ever coming into contact with your sensitive payment information. When you provide payment details on our website they are sent to Shopify Payments directly for processing. Less sensitive information, such as your name, email address, and address will be shared with us in order to processes your purchase.
When you through our online shop we will record specific personal information about you, such as your name and email address. This information is not used for marketing purposes.
We also log account and transaction history for accounting purposes, and to monitor our business activities.
GOOGLE ADWORDS REMARKETING
We may use the remarketing features of Google AdWords.
Remarketing is a feature that lets us target advertising campaigns at those who have previously visited our site as they browse the web and use apps. We do this so that more of our ads are shown to people that may have a genuine interest in our business.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve our ads to past visitors to our website across the Internet.
